Cartoon Horses with Hat-titude
Hello there. Good to see you. We are “marching on” with a lovely new green and white classic hat. We named the new hat Eileen.
The Eileen hat features rows of white decorative lines and dots at the lower part of of the dome and across the center of the brim. Sweeeeeet!
We hope you enjoyed seeing it. Come back and see us again soon.
Love, Hattingdon & Co.

Hello there, and welcome. “Dia duit” (dee-ah gwit) is the most common way to say “hello” among Irish nationals who speak Gaelic. The greeting literally means “may God be with you.” You can say dia duit to greet people in any setting.
Erin go Bragh means “Ireland forever”. It inspired Vivian to create a very special hat. Here it is.
Hattingdon wears a gorgeous top hat in the colours of “the green and the gold” of Ireland, embellished with a charming shamrock in white. Vivian named the hat “Erin”. There is more below, including a beautiful St. Patrick’s Day poem by Julie Garwood.
By Poet: Julie Garwood
May you always have
A sunbeam to warm you,
Good luck to charm you,
And a sheltering angel
So nothing can harm you,
Laughter to cheer you,
Faithful friends near you,
And whenever you pray,
Heaven to hear you.
May your joys
Be deep and many,
May your heart
be light and glad,
May you have the best
St. Patrick’s Day
That you have ever had.
Thank you for spending time with us. See you again soon.

NOVEMBER 1ST
Hey! It’s World Vegan Day.
On this day, Vegan groups and practitioners of veganism organize educational drives and workshops to bring attention to the importance of animal rights and kindness towards our fellow creatures on Earth.
Hattingdon is vegan of course. All horses naturally are (wink). Oh. Look who has stopped by. With a nice big carrot.
Hattingdon creator Vivian has been a vegan for decades. She says, “I never was much of a meat eater. I used to push it around my plate when I was a kid. I just did not want it. I became a vegetarian in college, and a vegan a bit later when I learned about it. I am an old timer now and doing very, very well on it”.
Some research has found there are certain health benefits linked to vegan diets such as lower blood pressure and cholesterol, lower rates of heart disease, type 2 diabetes and some types of cancer. Going vegan is also a great opportunity to learn more about nutrition and cooking, and improve your diet. » Read more »

Thank you everyone.
Today, September 20th, is Hattingdon creator Vivian Grant’s birthday. She is healthy and going strong. Hooray. Oh, and she loves chocolate. So she chose a chocolate cake.
Vivian writes: “I offer many thanks to my forebearers who are instrumental in my longevity and good health,” writes Vivian. “I am also so thankful for all the wonderful birthday wishes I have received, and am still receiving. Thank you with all my heart.”
